Chapter 654: Tribulation Elixir! Tribulation Elixir!
Chapter 654: Tribulation Elixir! Tribulation Elixir!
Muchang Daoist stood motionless, and after a moment, his meticulously groomed long beard began to tremble rapidly.
He felt a surge of anger rising in his chest, his mouth dry and tongue parched as he said, "Such defiance and arrogance, showing no respect to her seniors! She left Divine Void Mountain and no longer has us, these Senior Uncles and Aunts, in her eyes!"
"Where is the demeanor of a junior?" He angrily waved his sleeve and looked at everyone.
However, the other Peak Masters did not pick up on his complaint. Most of them had complex expressions, as if still immersed in Ye Lan’s questioning from earlier.
Indeed, after that incident, they had only been concerned with covering it up and had overlooked the feelings of the only remaining junior at Pill Peak. They had not noticed what Muchang was doing during that time.
Once the matter was covered up, Pill Peak had resumed its operations. Worried about unnecessary trouble, the Peak Masters, after consoling Ye Lan with a few words about the greater good, tacitly accepted the situation.
When she left the mountain, everyone assumed she was just unable to accept the loss of her Master and fellow disciples, and went out to clear her mind. They never thought that this junior actually had a clear understanding of the situation and had kept everything in mind.
"Enough, you’ve already benefited, and you won’t even allow others to complain a little."
Qianfeng Daoist slowly stood up and glanced at Muchang. These matters had nothing to do with the other six peaks, yet they still had to endure the disdainful looks from the juniors, naturally causing some displeasure.
"Benefited?" Muchang’s expression changed abruptly as if he had been stepped on, and he angrily said, "I devoted my efforts and managed two peaks. Even if I received more, it was all for Pill Peak. I never kept anything for myself. It’s only because Ruifeng has made some progress in recent years that he has been able to share my burdens. Brother Qianfeng, your words are unreasonable!"
"Used for Pill Peak? Used for your son..." Qianfeng Daoist sneered.
With so many resources, if he had opened the gates and recruited talented individuals, Pill Peak wouldn’t be in a state where only one person can refine a Tribulation Elixir.
Exerting the entire peak to cultivate one person.
Wasn’t it just to prevent someone from challenging Liu Ruifeng’s future position as Peak Master? Why speak so righteously?
"Shut up!" The half-dead old man suddenly slammed his hand on the table, instantly silencing the seven people below. It was clear that the earlier scene where Ye Lan ignored him had ignited some anger in this eldest disciple of the eight peaks.
He leaned back in his chair, his eyes flashing with lightning: "I have two things to say. First, what happened in the past is over, and no one is allowed to mention it again. If anyone does, don’t blame me for punishing on behalf of the Master."
"Second."
The half-dead old man closed his eyes: "The foundation of Divine Void Mountain is the Master. Our cultivation comes from the Master. These three hundred peaks must be centered on the Master, and everything else is secondary."
"As long as Pill Peak can regularly submit Tribulation Elixirs, anyone can be the Peak Master, regardless of their realm."
Upon hearing this, the other Peak Masters, except Muchang, showed a slight change in expression. Even Qianfeng Daoist was silent for a moment before sitting back down.
In the Master’s absence, the eldest disciple took on the role of a half-Master.
His words, though seemingly impartial, clearly showed his stance.
Not considering the realm... Wasn’t that specifically for Liu Ruifeng, who, despite consuming so many celestial materials, had failed to achieve the Dao Fruit and had been stuck at the Sixth Rank for years?
"The Senior Uncle is right."
At that moment, a young man respectfully entered the Grand Hall. It was Liu Ruifeng, who had been waiting outside.
His face showed no hint of excitement, only a deep concern.
He walked to the center of the hall, knelt down with utmost precision, and then clasped his hands: "Only with the Master’s eternal presence can Divine Void Mountain exist. I deeply understand this, and thus, I have been diligent for many years, never slackening in my efforts."
"Finally, I have made some progress and can barely refine a Seven Tribulation Treasure Pill. I only hope that one day, I can refine a Ten Tribulation Perfect Pill to contribute to the Master’s great path."
"As for the position of Peak Master, compared to the Master, it is nothing. As long as he is here and Divine Void Mountain continues to grow, whether it’s eight peaks or twenty or thirty, can we not support them?"
As he spoke, Liu Ruifeng’s face was filled with anticipation.
"..."
Listening to his sincere and earnest words, the expressions of the others varied. Whether they believed him or not, this was the attitude a third-generation disciple should show when facing their elders.
The half-dead old man silently observed the young man below.
At such a young age, he was already smooth-talking, thinking he could read the minds of his elders. With such impure thoughts, no wonder his cultivation has not progressed.
However, recognizing the importance of the Venerable is enough.
Born and raised in Divine Void, his entire Dao cultivation comes from Divine Void. If so, then as long as the Master needs it, even the lives of the disciples are not beyond taking.
In comparison, the other person has harbored resentment for so many years. How can she be fit to be a Peak Master?
"Entering the Peak Masters’ council without permission is a serious offense. Considering this is your first time and you have the Master in your heart, this time, it will not be pursued.
“Go ahead and focus on your cultivation, don't let other things distract you. We old folks are still alive and kicking.”
The elder waved his hand, sending Liu Ruifeng out of the hall.
Although he was sent away, the spiritual wind was gentle and kind, making Mu Yang Daoren feel delighted at the support of his senior brother. He was ready to face any criticism from his fellow disciples.
...
On the Danfeng Mountain path.
Ye Lan walked slowly, gazing at the green mountains, but her mind was clearly elsewhere.
As she approached the courtyard, she suddenly stopped, rubbing her face vigorously, trying to wipe away the faint hint of redness in her eyes.
As a Fifth Rank Taiyi Immortal, whether in the mortal realm or in the heavenly court, she was a renowned figure.
She was no longer the sheltered young girl, and naturally, she couldn't maintain the demeanor of a little girl.
When she left Shenxu Mountain to join the Demon Slaying Bureau, she had already made up her mind, but at this moment, returning to Shenxu Mountain, seeing the elders' silence about the great calamity of Danfeng, she still felt a chill in her heart.
Wrong is wrong, right is right.
In this immortal sect, seeking justice seemed so difficult.
This was something she had already understood, but under the chill of this conflict, she momentarily lost her composure.
"Hmm."
Ye Lan closed her eyes, her momentary impulse could potentially cause trouble for others.
She couldn't understand how she had said, "It's not a rumor."
This was the opposite of her initial intention upon returning.
Moreover, whether it was strength or cultivation, she had no qualifications to compete with the Sixth Peak.
Thinking of this, Ye Lan's mind conjured the image of the handsome youth in the ink-colored robe.
He casually took away the Dan book, leaving behind the words... see what you're afraid of.
It seemed like this scene gave Ye Lan some confidence.
But now, as she calmed down, she realized something was amiss. Shen Yi might not have made any promises, and it could have been her own overactive imagination leading to a misunderstanding.
If that was the case, then today's events would be completely meaningless, utterly ridiculous.
Even if Shen Yi truly had such intentions, as a solitary cultivator, he didn't understand the depth of Shenxu Mountain.
Based solely on a Seventh Rank Dan pill and the revealed talent in the Dan path, could it really shake the years of accumulation of the Sixth Peak?
"I must be crazy."
Ye Lan removed her palms, and although Shen Yi was young and inexperienced, it was understandable that he didn't know how dangerous it was.
But instead of dissuading him, Ye Lan had inadvertently added fuel to the fire.
If she truly harmed him, what would she say to the Hongze group who had high hopes for him?
Forget it, they would leave tomorrow.
With this in mind, Ye Lan quickened her pace and returned to the courtyard at the top of the mountain.
"Sister, you're back."
Ye Jing anxiously waited at the courtyard gate, and only when she saw her sister return did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Knowing her sister well, compared to her sword skills, her sister's verbal skills were truly lacking.
After the meeting at the Eight Peaks, she must have endured quite a bit, and now, seeing her sister's seemingly calm return, Ye Jing wondered how she was feeling inside.
"Let's eat first."
B
The candlelight was dim, but it exuded a unique warmth. At the table, the light and shadows accentuated Shen Yi's handsome side profile as he held a Dan book in one hand and ate with the other.
Ye Lan stared at the Dan book in his hand, instinctively pursing her lips.
But only for a moment, as she quickly averted her gaze.
Shen Yi's diligent cultivation, and the scene in the Dan Pill Workshop, seemed to be more than just a misunderstanding.
As the Peak Master of Danfeng, Ye Lan naturally felt delighted at his progress. After all, no matter what, she had nothing more to lose.
But apart from this identity, she was also the Yan Lan General of the Divine Kingdom, and Shen Yi was her subordinate Demon Slayer. She had to take full responsibility for his safety.
This must be a misunderstanding!
Ye Lan quietly walked to the table and sat down, picking up the bowl and chopsticks to quickly finish her meal and rest.
"Tomorrow we'll..." She picked up a piece of green vegetable with her chopsticks, intending to casually remind him, but before her voice could fall, the youth nearby had already put down the Dan book and glanced at her.
At such a close distance, she could even smell the fresh scent on his body. After months of traveling, even the faint blood aura in his scent had dissipated.
"What is a Tribulation Pill?" Shen Yi's voice carried a hint of curiosity.
"You've already read up to this point?" Ye Lan's chopsticks paused for a moment, and the next moment, she reacted, "No, I meant to say, we'll leave tomorrow."
"..."
Hearing this, Shen Yi fell silent.
After a long while, he sighed softly.
Ye Jing sat dumbfounded, feeling the atmosphere become strange, and she didn't dare to breathe for a moment.
